If you've never seen the video, or even if you have, take a little break to enjoy the imagery, sweet story, and amazing soundtrack:

Thanks, that was a great video.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
How sweet! You are right, the imagery, the story, and the soundtrack are just wonderful. I had never heard of The Snowman and am grateful for the link. Many thanks to you--and to Pippin!
Nuri, he has another book made into video called The Bear - I can't find it on YouTube but here's a link to the Amazon DVD:

It is equally beautiful. We had both on videocassette but I gave them all to the local thrift store a few years back assuming they would be available online - huge mistake! I need to get them both on DVD while I can. They were childhood favorites for my two and I have the music in my holiday music list and love it.
I lucked out and found it on YT (youtube.com/watch?v=VbG_Ujhnil4) but will buy the DVDs for my cousin's little ones (bonus: no translation needed!). I just love this kind of story - perfect for kids' bedtime and sweet dreams, I think, with the calm music, pleasing illustration, and good, warm feelings. So, thank you also for this recommendation!
Oh, yesterday, after watching The Snowman, I noticed that there's also The Snowman and the Snowdog. Have you seen this one? I couldn't resist... and certainly have no regrets, even though it made me shed a few tears... Heartwarming! :)
Oh, I didn't know about the snow dog one but now thanks to you it's in my shopping cart as a little Christmas treat for ME. :) Thank you!!
Wonderful, I hope you'll like it!
I know I will! :)
I can hear the theme music in my head... :)
It is a gorgeous piece of music.
